AMD and Rackspace Team Up on a 30 MW AI Compute Agreement. This Could Be a Win for Both Stocks.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) saw its data center business hit a record $5.8 billion in Q1 2026 revenue, up 57% year-over-year (YoY), as companies rushed to build out AI capacity. But demand is shifting beyond just raw computing power. Businesses now want AI systems that meet strict rules and standards, especially in sectors like finance and healthcare. That is where Rackspace Technology (RXT) comes in.

On June 16, 2026, both companies signed a definitive agreement to roll out 30 megawatts of AMD-powered AI compute across Rackspace Technology’s global data centers, starting in late 2026 through 2028. This deal builds directly on their earlier Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) announced May 7, 2026, and establishes Advanced Micro Devices as the core chip provider at the silicon layer of Rackspace’s governed AI stack (including Enterprise AI Cloud, Inference as a Service, and Bare-Metal AMD Instinct deployments).
